Strange Case In Oklahoma

From the Oklahoman:
Thursday afternoon, Oklahoma County District Judge Ray C. Elliott told the jury of eight women and four men that the trial will last “potentially all of next week.”
Jury selection wrapped up Thursday, the fourth day of the trial. Two alternates were chosen, both women.
The pharmacist, Jerome Jay Ersland, 59, is accused of going too far when he kept shooting an unarmed, unconscious robber inside Reliable Discount Pharmacy in southwest Oklahoma City about 5:45 p.m. May 19, 2009. His attorneys contend he was bravely defending himself and two female co-workers from a robber he still considered a threat.
Killed was Antwun “Speedy” Parker, 16, of Oklahoma City. An armed accomplice, Jevontai “Daddy O” Ingram, then 14, fled the pharmacy. He was later arrested and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for his role.Read more: http://newsok.com/12-jurors-selected-in-oklahoma-city-pharmacy-death-case/article/3569418#ixzz1MqSGamct
Umm, right. Most good kids take part in robbing a store at closing time.
Here is the video of the shooting:


If you watch the video, I don't blame the pharmacist for shooting the thug kid until he was dead because the thug kid was not playing around with a gun.
I understand that the concerns about the prosecution that he may have over shot the thug. But we don't know if the thug was trying to struggle to get the gun again or what really happened during the second shooting.
But if the guy feared for his life and the life of the other employees, then it's an easy case to decide.
Of course, the thug's mom said he was a good kid: To his mother, he was “my baby,” the youngest of five children. To her, he was “a good kid,” who was sure he'd make it big someday in basketball.Read more: http://newsok.com/robber-slain-in-oklahoma-city-pharmacy-was-a-good-son-his-mom-says/article/3568498#ixzz1MqXFcIly
The thug made a choice and he lost. Too bad, too sad.
